Radio-Canada – Des ressources suffisantes pour la francisation des réfugiés syriens ?

Depuis novembre 2015, le Canada a accueilli plus de 35 000 réfugiés syriens, qui ont fui leur pays déchiré par la guerre. L’apprentissage d’une des deux langues officielles est primordial pour l’intégration de ces nouveaux arrivants. Le Québec en fait-il assez pour leur apprendre le français?

Pour les réfugiés syriens, comme pour l’ensemble des immigrants […].

Calgary Herald – Syrian refugee children treated to special Christmas party

It was a 10-year-old girl from Jordan who gave Calgary’s Saima Jamal the idea to have a special Christmas party for newcomers to Canada. Jamal said she was visiting a refugee family, when a little girl approached her asking if Papa Noel would be here this year to give presents — he had been absent the past few years in Jordan. “She told me their family had no celebrations, no gifts, no Papa Noel,” said Jamal, who works with the Calgary Syrian Refugee Support Group. “That gave us the idea to step up and do something.” Within a few hours of announcing the Syrian Children’s Christmas Party on Facebook, Jamal said floods of people came forward with toys, donations, decorations, Christmas trees and food. “It’s kind of funny, a bunch of Muslims hosting a Christmas party,” Jamal said with a laugh. “But the entire city came alive to put up this children’s party for Syrian newcomers.”

Calgary Herald – Fearing Trump crackdown, “dreamers” advised to end travel

Immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, but were protected from deportation by President Barrack Obama, are being warned by some advocates to make sure they are not travelling abroad when Donald Trump is sworn in as president on Jan. 20.

Some advocates, lawyers and universities are concerned that Trump might immediately rescind an Obama program that had allowed these young immigrants to work and travel for humanitarian, educational or employment purposes. That could lead, they fear, to some people travelling abroad being barred from re-entering the U.S.

“We are recommending all travel be completed by or before Jan. 20 in the event laws or procedures experience a drastic change,” said Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles. “We wouldn’t want to expose them to an uncertain situation should they not be allowed back to the U.S.”
